Title: Improvements in Lubricating Devices.
Inventor: WARDWELL SIMON WILLARD
Filed: 1901-12-30
Granted: 1902-02-20
Abstract: 26,609. Wardwell, S. W. Dec. 30. Lubricators.-Relates to a lubricating-device, and is shown as arranged for lubricating the bearings of the shafts 9 and 25 and gearing of a machine. Each of the shafts is driven through a clutch 13 by a wheel 12. The part A' of the machine frame is bored to act as a casing to receive an oil container B, which is provided with a slot b<1> for the introduction of oil, and with outlet ports b<2>, b<3>, adapted to register with ducts a<2>, C leading to the bearings. A pin d engages the slot b<1>, and acts as a guide and a stop, and between this pin and the end of the reservoir a spring e is placed to maintain the reservoir in the closed position. The cap f also acts as a stop to limit the motion of the reservoir. The reservoir is partly drawn out of the frame for the insertion of oil, and in this position the ports and ducts do not register. The shafts 9 and 25 are axially bored, and are put in connection with the ducts a<2>, C, during rotation, by radial ports 9<a>, 25<a>. Radial holes lead from the bore in each shaft to the bearings of the shaft, clutch, and wheel, and the oil is supplied thereto by centrifugal force. The bore in each shaft is closed at the end by a cap 19 &c., which, in this case, serves to retain the wheel 12 in position. In order to prevent the delivery of all the oil to the duct or pipe C, the container is made of different diameters, the part of smaller diameter feeding the pipe C. The casing may be made separate from the machine frame, and attached thereto by suitable means.

Patent GB-190205995-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machine for Molding Artificial Stone, Building and Paving Blocks
Inventor: PALMER NOYES FINK
Filed: 1902-03-11
Granted: 1902-05-15
Abstract: 5995. Palmer, N. F. March 11. Moulding artificial-stone building and paving blocks.-The sides and ends b, c of the mould are arranged to slide inwards and outwards on a table a', and are operated simultaneously by two screwed shafts d, which work in nuts e attached to the ends c, and carry pinions f gearing with racks fixed to the sides b of the mould. The shafts are formed with right and left hand worms or screws, and may be geared together, or rotated indepen- dently by handles d'. The pinions are bolted to the shafts, and can be moved out of action and re-set to mould larger or smaller blocks. The side plates can be changed for larger or smaller plates, and pattern plates may be bolted to the sides and ends to produce recesses in imitation of brickwork. In making hollow blocks, cores g<1> fixed to a plate g are raised through apertures in the table by pinions g<3> gearing with racks g<4>, and are maintained at the required height by a pawl engaging with a ratchet wheel i. In a modification, a loose movable plate at the bottom of the mould is attached to racks gearing with the pinions g<3> on the opposite side to that of the racks g<4>, so that the plate with the moulded block is raised when the cores are lowered. After the plastic mass is tamped in the mould and struck off level with the top, the mould is expanded, and the block is raised on the loose plate and removed on a carriage mounted on rails level with the top of the mould.
Patent GB-190214111-A (GB)
Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Separating Gases from a Liquefied Mixture thereof.
Filed: 1902-06-21
Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 14,111. Linde British Refrigeration Co., [Linde, C.]. June 21. Oxygen.-Relates to improvements in the process of, and apparatus for, separating oxygen from air described in Specification No. 12,528, A.D. 1895, and consists more especially in the use of a rectifier, down which liquid air, and up which vaporized liquid air (containing more oxygen than ordinary air) pass. In this process, only that small amount of air under high compression, say, from 50 to 200 atmospheres, is employed which is required to make up for the unavoidable loss of cold, the bulk of the air used for separation into oxygen and a waste gas being only compressed to a low degree. A compressor a, fed by a pump e, forces air through a water cooler b, and through a heat-interchanger c having a throttle valve d. Liquid air collects in the vessel beneath the valve, and as much of it as is required to make up for losses withdrawn through the valve q to the rectifier r. Vapour passes upwards through the interchanger back to the compressor a. Pumps h, i force air of a low degree of compression through water coolers k, l to two sets of parallellyarranged spiral tubes contained in a corresponding number of spiral channels, the whole forming the heat interchangers f, g. Each coil serves to protect the next inner one, and the inner one of all protects the distilling-apparatus, the temperature of which is about -190‹ C. The cooled air formed in the interchangers collects in tubes m, n, and thence passes to vertical tubes in vessels s, t. These tubes are closed at the top, and the air, giving up some of its heat to the surrounding liquid, forms liquid air which passes through valves o, p to the top of the rectifying-column r. The latter is filled in a known manner with glass balls resting upon a perforated bottom. When the apparatus is in operation, the vessels s, t contain air rich in oxygen. That in the vessel s is partially vaporized by means of the tubes therein, and the vapour rises through the column r, meeting the descending liquid air. As the latter flows downward, it takes up oxygen from the ascending vapour, while the ascending vapour takes up nitrogen from the descending air, the result being that practically-pure liquid oxygen flows down to the vessel s, while gaseous nitrogen containing about 7 per cent. of oxygen leaves the rectifier, and, passing through the spiral chambers enclosing the tubes in the interchanger f, escapes at B. The liquid rich in oxygen overflows to the chamber t, and is completely vaporized by means of the tubes therein, the gaseous oxygen passing through the spiral chambers in the interchanger g to the exit A. Both the oxygen and the impure nitrogen leave the apparatus at a temperature near that of the cooling-water. The apparatus used may be modified.

Title: Improvements in connection with Mixing Valves for Hot and Cold Water Supplies.
Inventor: REVAI OSCAR
Filed: 1902-07-14
Granted: 1903-06-25
Abstract: 15,693. RÚvai, O. July 14. Mixing - cocks; multiple-way cocks; plug cocks. - Relates to a system of hot and cold water supply, consisting of a coldwater pipe a provided with a valve, not shown, above which it divides into two branches b, c. The former leads direct to a mixing-cock, while the latter passes through a heater below the level of the mixing-cock, with which the heater is connected by a pipe c<1>. The mixing-cock has a hollow plug e, with the open end of which the pipe c' is always connected. The plug also has lateral holes registering, when desired, with the pipe b and with pipes f, g leading to a bath and to a rose. It also has an opening which leads to or receives a thermometer h. When the pipe b is in free connection with the inside of the plug, the latter receives its supply from the pipe b, which is straight rather than from the more circuitous passage through the heater, and the result is that practically cold water is delivered to the pipes f or g, whichever happens to be open to the plug at the time. If, however, the opening of the pipe b into the plug is constricted by partly turning it, tepid water is obtained, while, by turning the plug so as to close the pipe b, hot water alone is obtained. The holes in the plug are made so that either of the pipes f or g can be opened, whatever the condition of the water. A handle having a pointer and a graduated dial shows the position of the plug.

Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 14,854. Moorhouse, J. July 4. Mules and twiners.-To diminish wear and tear on the driving-belts and the momentum to be overcome when backing-off &c, the rim shaft is provided with a narrow fast pulley e and a broad loose pulley f, which can slide on the shaft, and a belt m runs constantly on the loose pulley, and during the outward run also partly on the fast pulley. In place of a single broad belt m, two narrow belts may be used, of which one is constantly on the loose pulley and the other is moved on to the fast and loose pulleys as required. The fast pulley e carries the part d of the backing-off friction as usual, and the adjacent faces of the two pulleys are provided with friction-clutch surfaces h, i. During the outward run, both pulleys are driven, and the clutch h, i is in gear, so that both pulleys, and both straps, when two are used, help to drive the rim shaft. At the end of the stretch and just before backing-off commences, the strap is moved entirely on to the loose pulley, and the clutch h, i is disengaged. The spring lever g, for causing the endwise movement of the loose pulley, may be moved against the action of its spring by the ordinary strap-guide leverp, an adjustable stop z being provided to regulate the movement. In a modification, the strap may be moved on to the fast pulley, and the clutch h, i engaged independently, the time at which the clutch engages being under the control of the mule carriage. By this invention, some of the advantages of the invention described in Specification No. 9985, A.D. 1886, are obtained.
